My wife is a pediatrician.  She tells the story of directing
a parent to put two ounces of prune juice in eight ounces of
formula.

The nervous mother reversed the 
amounts with predictable results.

Actually, prugna secca, or "dry plum" is prune in Italian. Anybody
know if such is likewise in other languages?

My Dad used to like prunes.  The first time he tasted a Dr Pepper
soft drink, he exclaimed "this is fizzy prune juice!"  This was in
the early 1970s I think, and I could swear the ingredients even said
that.  Now it says "natural flavorings" or something like that.
